"HMS Saltash (J62) was a Royal Navy Hunt class minesweeper, built by Murdoch and Murray of Port Glasgow, launched 25 June 1918 and served through the last few months of World War I as well as through all of World War II. She was involved in the evacuation of Dunkirk, during which, on June 1, 1940, she took on board the crew of HMS Havant (H32) Havant having been heavily damaged by German aircraft after they had successfully evacuated some 3,000 troops themselves. Saltash later returned to northern France as part of the Normandy landings in 1944. She was decommissioned on 13 March 1947. HMS Saltash was armed with a 4-inch LA forward and a 12 pounder AA. She was named after the town of Saltash in south-east Cornwall, United Kingdom. A fictitious HMS Saltash appears in Nicholas Monsarrat's novel of the Royal Navy during World War II, The Cruel Sea."@en . . "300"^^ . . "HMS Saltash (J62)"@en . . . "--09-05"^^ .
